Robot & Frank (12A)

HHHH

Dir: Jake Schreier

With: Frank Langella, Peter Sarsgaard

Runtime: 89 minutes

FRANK Langella (Frost/Nixon) gives a towering performance as the pensioner given a robot as a carer.

Man hates machine, but as Frank gets to know his little steel helper better, he realises that retirement might not be so dull after all. With its sly wit, gloriously curmudgeonly hero, A-list cast (Susan Sarandon also stars), and urge to surprise, Jake Schreier's moving and funny comedy drama is a tonic for the troops, whether Frank's age or not.
